Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Ven Tenzin Lhundup, a scholar at Gom Gongsar Monastery has been sentenced to eight years in prison. He was detained last year while speaking in public on the “status of Tibetan language and nationality” in Shagchu, Diru County. He is accused of engaging in “anti-governmental activities” and of being one of the protesters against mining activities at Ngalha Dzamba. Lhundup’s family have only just traced him to Lhasa.
